Keeping your clothes clean while traveling in Istanbul
doesn’t have to be stressful. With a few smart tips
and the right laundry service, you can focus on
exploring the city instead of worrying about dirty clothes.

Tip 1: Plan Your Laundry Before You Need It

Don’t wait until you’ve run out of clean clothes.
Plan a laundry day every 4-5 days during your trip.
This way you always have fresh clothes without
needing to overpack.

Tip 2: Pack Clothes That Travel Well

Choose fabrics that are lightweight, wrinkle-resistant
and quick-drying:

• Merino wool — odor-resistant and wrinkle-free
• Polyester blends — dries quickly after washing
• Cotton — comfortable but takes longer to dry
• Avoid heavy denim and wool for long trips

Tip 3: Separate Delicates Before Pickup

If you’re using a laundry pickup service, separate
any delicate items before handing over your bag:

• Silk and cashmere → request dry cleaning
• Items that shouldn’t go in the dryer → let the team know
• New dark-colored clothes → may bleed color on first wash

A good laundry service will always ask about special
instructions — but it’s better to be prepared.

Tip 4: Use a Pickup Laundry Service — Not Hotel Laundry

Hotel laundry in Istanbul is expensive. A single shirt
can cost 200-400 TL. For the same price, you could
wash an entire kg of clothes at Loti Laundry —
including free pickup and delivery.

Always compare prices before leaving your laundry
at hotel reception.

Tip 5: Book Early for Same Day Service

Same day laundry in Istanbul is available — but only
if you book in time. At Loti Laundry:

• April to October: drop off before 3:00 PM
• November to March: drop off before 2:00 PM

Message us on WhatsApp the night before or first
thing in the morning to guarantee same day delivery.

Tip 6: Leave Laundry at Reception If You’re Out

Going on a day trip to the Princes’ Islands or a
Bosphorus cruise? No problem. Simply leave your
laundry bag at the hotel reception with a note,
and our team will pick it up and deliver back
before you return.

Tip 7: Check Reviews Before Choosing a Service

Not all laundry services in Istanbul are equal.
Before handing over your clothes, check:

• Google reviews — look for 4.5 stars or above
• Response time on WhatsApp
• Whether they publish prices openly
• Whether they wash each order separately

Loti Laundry has 500+ five-star Google reviews
from tourists across 50+ countries. We publish
all prices openly on our website — no hidden fees.

Tip 8: Communicate Special Instructions Clearly

Always let your laundry service know:

• Items that need to be hung to dry
• Clothes that require cold water washing
• Any stains that need pre-treatment
• Items for dry cleaning only

At Loti Laundry, you can add special instructions
directly in our WhatsApp message or order form.

Tip 9: Use Luggage Storage on Checkout Day

Checking out early but your flight isn’t until evening?
Store your clean, packed bags with us while you
explore Istanbul for a few more hours.

Loti Laundry offers secure luggage storage in
Sultanahmet — camera monitored, locked room,
open 7 days a week.

Tip 10: Don’t Stress — We’ve Got You Covered

Laundry is one of those travel worries that disappears
the moment you find a service you trust. Thousands of
tourists have handed us their most valued clothes —
and we’ve never let them down.
